Production years: 1968 - 1973

Introduced with the standard 4.2 litre XK engine from the 420, there was also a new configuration of 2.8 litres to meet the demands of tax conscious markets. This engine was never used in any other models because of inherent problems with holing pistons. Launched as a Jaguar model only, by 1969 a Daimler derivative became available, badged engineered into the brand as the Sovereign.
